Paradigms and Demographics was never a big blog. I mostly was interested in shaping ideas and concepts I thought important for the pest control industry and those who are involved with us. Going back many years I published a weekly newsletter and I had a blog before this one; and they both had the same caveat; green only! As time went by I realized that it was impossible to do “green only” because I could see that green was nothing more than the spear point for imposing socialist policy worldwide. Therefore I decided that Paradigms and Demographics would stop being an anti-green blog and become a pro-humanity blog, which by definition makes Paradigms and Demographics anti-green and anti-left.
This last nine months has been interesting for me. In the last nine months the number of hits has doubled from the total number of hits from May of 2008 to January of 2012. I have almost more than doubled the number of hits per month I am getting since just June of this year.
I have been trying to work in different formats unsuccessfully for some time. I never really liked the way anything was coming together. I kind of like what I am doing now and I think I have settled on this format. For one thing, there is less stuff that is more focused.
I keep thinking that I should attempt to develop a daily theme, but the best I can do is work a theme in for a couple of links at a time, and that may be better; after all; who wants to read ten articles on the same subject. If that is the case then I should just write one article that covers all the points myself.
I don't know how my friend Alan Caruba puts out such accurate in depth commentaries each day, and on such varied subjects. I don’t have time to do a commentary each day, and quite frankly, I can’t seem to do one each day anyway....much to my embarrassment. I don’t know about others, but there are times I can crank out a complicated article in a couple of hours. There are other times when it takes me two days, and then I keep changing it. I never quite figured out why that is, other than the fact that the subject has so many layers that I have the tendency to go off in different directions attempting to tie it all together.
At one point a couple of years ago I stopped doing anything for a couple of weeks. Even a news junkie like me can get to the point that I just can’t stand anymore. Alan sent me an article to publish just to get me back in the arena.
Admittedly some of my articles are a bit long, but that isn't so much of a problem as making sure I have continuity in the article. At times I have had to work in what are called "coherence through connectives" because of the depth of the subject…and usually the continuity isn’t obvious until the end of the article. If not done correctly you look like a loon. I find that pushes me into different realms of thought and ideas. And I get ideas.....lots of ideas! I can get an idea a minute. All of them time consuming.
At any rate….this is what has been happening this week. The countries that generated the top ten hits this week are;
United States, France, Russia, Germany, Canada, Bulgaria, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Netherlands and Ireland.
